Friday Featured Track for Oct. 2, 2009
The song that has been on my brain the most this week:
- “Summertime Clothes,” Animal Collective, from their 2009 album “Merriweather Post Pavilion.”
Here’s how my brain works: I’ve been covering copious volumes of country music news all week, with Miranda Lambert’s new CD coming out on Tuesday, Toby Keith’s new album due out next Tuesday, Vince Gill announced as the Will Rogers Spirit Award winner and Jason Aldean playing this weekend’s Orange Peel concert at Oklahoma State. Country music has been at the forefront of my brain all week.
So, what’s been rattling around in the back of my mind all week? Freak folk. Naturally. I mean, of course, what else would you expect?
If you’re going to get a song caught on a loop in your head, you could do a lot worse than the wildly ethereal sounds of Animal Collective’s “Summertime Clothes.”
The video features the Brooklyn-based FLEX dance crew, and you could also do worse than spending 4:30 watching them and all the pretty colors:
-BAM
